' l t .3 Claims. (01.228-6) {This invention relates to a holder forfragile articles. j The organization of the invention comprises a holderadapted to coactwith a carton.

The object of the invention is the production of a holder, in whichradio'tubes, electric incandescent lamps, and various other fragilearticles can be securely packed.

H The third object of the invention is the pro- '10 duction of a holder,in which a fragilearticle can be securely positioned without thecoaction of a carton in which the holder may be inserted.

The fourth object 'of the invention is the production of a holder forfragile articles, which lat- -I5 ter are visible when positioned in theholder.

The fifth object of the invention is the production of a holder forfragile articles, which latter can be tested after being inserted in theholders.

I The sixth object of the invention is the pro- 20 duction of a holderfor fragile articles in which articles can be inserted without injury tothe latter.

The seventh object of the invention is the pro- I duction of a holder,in which cylindrical and spher- 25 ical shaped articles can be securelyheld in directions longitudinal of said objects as'well as laterallythereto.

In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents a side elevation of anexemplification of the improved holder with a radio tube in place and apartial section of its carton as on the line 1, 1 of Fig. 4; Fig. 2shows a section of Fig; 4 on the line 2, 2; Fig. 3 indicates a sectionof Fig. 4 on the line 1, 1; Fig. 4 represents a section of Fig.

6 1 on the line 4, 4; Fig. 5 shows a section of Fig. 1

on the line 5, 5 with the radio tube removed; Fig. 6 indicates a sectionof Fig. l on the line 6, 6 with the radio tube removed; Fig. '7indicates a top view of Fig. 2; Fig. 8 is a partial portion of Fig. 3with a modification, and Fig. 9 is a fragmentary portion of Fig. 3 witha further modification.

A carton preferably of card board is shown with the front wall 16, therear wall 1'7 and the side walls 18. The upper end of the carton isshown at 19 and its lower end is shown at 20. From each of the top andbottom ends of the wall 16 extend the outer flap 22 having theprojecting leg 23.

150, Inner flaps 24 and 25 extend from the ends of the side walls 18.The corners of the carton 15 are shown at 26.

Referring to Figs. 1 to '7 the holder is designated in its entirety bythe numeral and is .155; preferable made of moulded paper pulp, althoughother material may be used. Corrugated paper may-beused. p

The holder 30 comprises the oppositely positioned longitudinalcylindrically bulged walls 35, that have the spherically bulged upper'p'o'rtio'ns 36. The walls converge from their upper to their lower ends.The said lower ends join with the pair of oppositely positionedcylindrical tu' bular portions 37, which are parallel tothe longitudinalaxis of the holder. By this disposition of said walls they are adaptedto securely hug an object, in this instance theradio tube 38 hav-' ingthe socket end 3812 with the contact pins 39# The walls 35 are indicatedwith the upper edges 44. The tubular portions 37 at their lower endsjoin with the pair of diverging supporting legs 45, Longitudinal edgesof the walls 35 are indicated at 46. It will be noted that the walls 35and their portions 3'7 are oppositely positioned and spaced from eachother, so that the radio tube 38 and its socket end 38a can be seen whenin position between said walls 35 and portions 3'7.

Pairs of longitudinal side wings having the straight longitudinal outeredges 51, diverge from the edges 46 and extend to the corners 26 of thecarton l5. Notches 52 are indicated in the edges 51 of the wings 50 forthe support of a rubber band 53, string or other clamping means. Upperwings 56 diverge from the edges 44 and extend to the corners 26 at theupper ends of the carton. Curved supporting feet 58 are integral withthe lower portions of the supporting legs 45. The feet 58 extend to thecorners 26 of the carton 15 at its lower end. A table 60 is indicatedwith the square opening 61 and is spaced from the lower end of thecarton 15. Table diverging supporting legs 62 extend from the table 60and join with the feet 58. A second pair of table diverging supportinglegs 63 also extend from table 60 to the lower end of the carton 15 andjoin with the legs 62. The lower face of the socket end 38a of the radiotube 38 bears on the supporting table 60 and the contact pins 39 extendthrough the opening 61.

The radio tube is positioned in theholder 30 with vthe walls 35 huggingthe bulb of said radio tube 38, the spherical portions 36 bearingagainst the crown of the tube and the tubular portions 37 bearingagainst the socket end 38a. The operator positions the rubber band 53 inthe notches 52 to maintain the walls 35 in position.

Referring to Fig. 8 only a fragmentary portion of the holder 30 is shownwith the legs 45, the feet 58, the legs 62 and the table 65 similar to60. The

latter in this modification has the cylindrical opening 66.

A fragmentary portion of an incandescent electric lamp is indicated at70, having the threaded socket end 71. The latter extends through theopening 66.

Referring to Fig. 9 the carton is shown with its side walls 18, and itsflaps 22, 24, and 25. The socket end of the radio tube is indicated at38a with its Contact pins 39. The tubular cylindrical portions 37 of theWalls as well as the wings are indicated. Integral with the lower endsof the portions 37 are shown the'supporting tables 85,'Whl0h are atright-angles to the portions''l and extend inwardly therefrom. A pair ofcurved diverging supporting legs 86 extend from the supporting tablesand have integral therewith at their lower ends the curved supportingfeet 88. The feet 83 extend to the opposite corners 26 of the carton atits lower end. The feet 88. are connected by the foot plate having theopening 91. The socket end 38a of the radio tube is supported on thesupporting tables 35.

Various modifications may be made in the invention and the presentexemplification is to be taken as illustrative and not limitativethereof.

. Having described my invention what I desireto secure by Letters Patentand claim is:

1 A holder of thecharacter described of one piece of moulded paper pulp,comprising a pair of oppositely positioned longitudinal cylindricallybulged walls with spherically bulged upper portions, a supporting tablehaving an opening between said walls at the lower portions thereof andsupporting means for said table between it and said walls.

2. A holder of the character described comprising a pair of longitudinalbulged walls, longitudinal side wings having notches in their upperportions integral with said bulged walls, a supporting table below saidwalls with its vertical axis positioned between said Walls, supportingmeans for said table between it and said walls and means supported inthe notches of said wings to maintain said walls in operative positions.

3. A holder of the character described comprising a pair of longitudinalcylindrically bulged Walls, spherical bulged upper portions integralwith said walls, cylindrical tubular portions at the lower end of thewalls and integral therewith, said bulged walls and tubular portionsrespectively cppositely positioned and spaced from one another, a pairof diverging supporting legs extending from the lower ends of saidtubular portions, 2. pair of longitudinal side wings extending from thelongitudinal edges of the bulged walls, the edges of the tubularportions and the edges'of said supporting legs, a supporting tablebetween said supporting legs adjacent to the lower ends of said tubularportions, a pair of table diverging supporting legs extending from saidtable, feet connecting the said supporting legs and the table supportinglegs and a second pair of table diverging supporting legs extending fromsaid table.
